    You know you're getting old when.....

    I've been pondering those options as well. Just strange that in the past it was always "When the wife or I need a better gaming rig, the old system becomes the hand me down to my home lab" and if I build s rig for this that direction will now reverse.... Possibly the AMD, or an Nvidia Spark box.

    Spider-Noir

    The wife and I finished this tonight, we've been trying to stretch out series so we have something to watch. We also did the B&W run on it and I thought it looked great. During it I did wonder how they "pulled off color" since I remember learning a long time ago about the "everything is...

    Oklahoma

    Only around 3-4% of the US workforce is actually paid minimum wage. Where is REALLY matters is in all those union contracts which are negotiated with wages being a given multiplier of the minimum wage. So a bump in minimum wage equates to a huge pay off to labor unions for the most part.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I'm about to assemble the most powerful (and subsequently most expensive) computer I have ever assembled for home use. And I won't be installing a single game on it. (AI workstation/server system)

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    You've just described an absolute nightmare scenario I think about. I started having some hand tremors a while back. There's no history of PD in my family, but a history of something called "familial tremors". But in the back of my head I keep worrying about exactly what you're getting hit...

    How about we just mash T'ealc up with Amos, and add in Jayne's hat from Firefly?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    As explained by a Dr I had once, over time your body's histamine system (which regulates what you are and aren't allergic to) can partially rotate. Which means you can gain and lose allergies over your lifetime, and most people lose them over time. When I was a wee Haus I was allergic to a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I handle all my mom's finances and my sister coordinates all her medical stuff... Recently I get a text from one of her Dr's (Cardiologist) about her owning over $400 for some scan. I look into it. The Dr's website says the insurance paid $5, the insurance website says it's paid $150 and the...

    Stargate SG-1

    Even with SG-1 being off the air for around 20 years now, it's still considered a very formidable mid-tier series on the platforms that stream it (although it doesn't feel impressive as it's around #250 all time on most lists of streamed series/content/movies). With that said Netflix's most...
